I think Nelly was brilliant and doesn't get enough props. That first album has some of the greatest pop rap singles of all time. I remember when "Ride Wit Me" came out. It sounded so fukking different from anything that was out. You knew it was pop off-top, but it was DOPE. When Nelly says he sold a gazillion records without cosigns, I believe him. That shyt came outta nowhere.

The album Country Grammar was complete trash outside of the 4 main singles. Nellyville had a few hot joints too.

He lost me with that Sweat/Suit shyt. To this day I haven't heard those albums. The singles were :trash:

He wasn't brillant. He was good enough to ride a pop wave; he wasn't brillant.

Mc Hammer was better than him.

Ride what pop wave? He didn't sound like anyone before him :what:

He was making Hip-pop : that's why he sold so many albums, not because he was brillant.

He didn't sound like anyone before him ? Of course, mid-west came as a novelty in a mainstream level, add it to a super pop direction. Yes it was new and poppish. But there was nothing "brillant" about him as a rapper.

OK fair enough. If you're talking emcee/singing skills, then yes you're right. There's no brilliance. I'm talking about his overall sound. How he and his producer came up with the material they did.

This.

They were all corny too.

Exactly. Cringeworthy corny. LMAO at Murphy Lee got next.

Country Grammar had a few decent songs on it, but I never bought that album and in those days I was buying multiple albums every week. I'd have been embarrassed for someone to see that in my collection. Lot of white bytches copped that record, that should tell you enough.

It's shyts on damn near everything today, but back then anyone with real taste wasn't fukking with that "uh ohhhhhhhhhh!!!"
